The best thing we can do for family values is to repeal the income tax. Then families will have the resources they need to implement their own values - and not those of the politicians. With the income tax gone, families will no longer be forced to have two breadwinners by necessity. Children will be raised better, family values will predominate, and crime will diminish. If your local school indoctrinates your child with values that are alien to you, you'll have the money to buy a private education.

In almost all matters, the real question should be: why are we letting government handle this?

We may not always recognize it, but government plays a bigger role in our lives than any other single person or institution. We spend nearly half of our lives working to pay for it. Children spend more time in government schools than they do with their parents. Birth, death, marriage, every area of our lives feels the influence of government.

Communities don't think, don't believe, don't want, don't have needs, don't have interests and don't make decisions. Only individuals have minds that generate desires and needs - and only individuals can make choices and decisions.

Government seems to operate on the principle that if even one individual is incapable of using his freedom competently, no one can be allowed to be free.

If a law could keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of dangerous people, there would be virtually no gun crime at all.

It's wrong for someone to confiscate your money, give it to someone else, and call that "compassion."
